Hi all, I need some help with my Capri restoration. I am getting things ready for paint but before I can paint it, I have to get all the panels mounted and lined up. So I can get nice clean gaps before its painted.
So my problem is the bonnet. I am missing almost all the mounting pieces and I need your help to tell me what I am missing and what I need to buy. I have been browsng the web looking for parts and so far I think I have worked out some of the parts. From my understanding there are a total of 7 points of contact between the bonnet and the body of the car: Hinges (2) Main bonnet latch at the front (1) Rubber Spacers to fenders (4) Am I missing something? --> I have the bonnet latch that is mounted in the slam panel (but nothing that bolts to the hood itself - so it looks like I just have one half of the bonnet latch). Picture 1 below is the part I am looking at buying for the bonnet half. Is this right?? --> I have one of the brackets that attach the bonnet to the hinge. See picture 2 below. I just have to find the other one. --> I believe I need 4 rubbers (picture 3 below) Is this right? Any help or pictures you guys could offer me of your own bonnet securing hardware I would really appreciate it. Picture 1: Picture 2: Picture 3: |
